Just one of the beauties I caught on Thursday…
The guys were not impressed that I caught the most. They put it down to me being the only female on the boat. Rubbish, I told them, I just have mean fishing skills. But of course I shared my catch – I’m nice like that, and it meant they’d fillet them for me.
Silly season
Baking these little beauties this weekend with a couple of girlfriends, but ginger flavour.
It’s upon us. This Christmas will be different with my sister and her boyfriend in London, but thanks to the invention of Skype we will still be able to see her beautiful, smiley face and share a glass of bubbles, even though she will be eating her breakfast with hers. We know how to adapt in my family.
I’m seriously looking forward to the break and the sunshine that we’ve been promised. Days laying at the beach and sipping cocktails on the deck will be top of my list. Plus the excitement of signing up to get my dive license!
Sadly before all that relaxation and fun can happen there’s the madness of finishing everything off at work for the year, the Christmas food preparation and of course the gift buying. Every year I tell myself I’m going to get organised and have purchased everyone’s gifts by November. Never happens. I’m stuck for gift ideas for a few people this year… I’m hoping like hell that some ideas come to me before the critical point of buying vouchers. Vouchers are not gifts.
On the plus side, with the huge increased number of readers I’ve gained in the last few days, my ad revenue is soaring. More spending for Christmas gifts!
